Easy Apple Cider Sangria [Recipe]

For this Easy Apple Cider Sangria recipe, I decided to combine by love of red wine and apples. There are just a few ingredients, and you can make it 24 hours in advance to have ready for guests.

When I lived in Atlanta I always looked forward to fall. I love the crisp air, the changing leaves, the fresh apples… and the fact that the cooler evening call for a bottle glass of red wine. In San Diego there’s no crispness or changing of leaves, but we do have fresh apples!

I almost never order sangria in restaurants because it is so sweet. What I love about this recipe is that there is no added sugar; it allows the fruit to do all the talking.

Yes, that’s “Bitch” wine. Courtesy of my hilarious sister.

The apples in the recipe soak up the red wine and ferment overnight in the fridge. The longer you let your sangria sit before serving it, the more the fruit will infuse its flavors into the cocktail…. and even more booze will soak into all the fruit slices (read: you can get drunk on pieces of apple).

One note on the club soda. Don’t skip it! Add it right before serving to lighten the sangria with a little fizzy pop. It makes it even better!

The cinnamon sticks, cider, and fresh apples in this recipe scream fall. It’s perfect for Thanksgiving gatherings, football watching, and holiday parties! Just make sure you double the recipe… you’ll need more.

Right this is bookmarked and highlighted! As you know it is coming into summer here now and this is just the ideal summer festive drink – and I adore the fact that you have kept the sugar outta there!
And sangria soaked apples…. My favourite kind of fruit! Along with rum soaked pineapple of course 😉Jen @ Chase the Red Grape recently posted…Friday Favourites + Big News!

Obviously I need the Christmas in Manhattan recipe. I love sangria, and I too love apple cider sangria!
Fun fact: never order sangria in Virginia. By ABC law, they can’t mix wine and spirits and let it sit, so no sangria ever has time to develop any flavor.

ooh that sounds yummy! I like that you have only used a little bit of alcohol in there so not to be too overpowering. Have a great weekend!Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner recently posted…You May Not Know…Five Things About Me

Ha, I almost never order sangria in restaurants because it’s never sweet enough! They must make it differently over here. I love that you posted a sangria recipe, BTW. This is the kind of healthy living I can get behind!Tara @ Sweat like a Pig recently posted…Training updates and eye problems

The glorious thing about fall this year here is that we actually had about 3 months of fall. We haven’t really had any snow… Can you believe it? For Colorado it just seems crazy! 🙂 But it’s been wonderful watching the leaves fall slowly and really enjoying the fall temperatures before snow comes.Emily recently posted…Eggnog Power Protein Packed Waffles (Holiday Series I)

I love love love, San Diego! The people are so chill, and down to earth, it’s beautiful, I could defiantly see me living there one day. I’m also a Sangria lover; there’s something about having fruit in my adult beverage that makes me oh so happy deep down inside lol 😉 I didn’t realize most places add sugar to Sangria that’s a good thing to know. I’m looking forward to making some this weekMary recently posted…Challenge Monday

This sounds so great for Thanksgiving. Or maybe I’ll start it early for myself haha! I like both kinds of sangria at the right temperatures! I am so ready for boots weather. 🙂Lynn @ Oh-So Yummy recently posted…Encontro North Park
